Cardia

Dumping for me is nausea , metallic taste in my mouth , stomach ache and am unable to digest what I eat it sits on top of my pouch until I take a digestive enzyme or it goes away

Am 52 and this past October I am at the three years surgiversary RNY .Yes, it can be a little of a roller coaster compared to when I was younger because of menopause and slower metabolism, but it’s doable. I find I have to cut the carbs a lot and I have stalls my lowest was 175 but i am still in the 80s . I lift a lot of weight so a few extra pounds I noticed when I start lifting weights like five pounds if I stop for a few days I noticed I weigh less . The temptation is always with certain foods once I eat them I dump or have heart burn so I don’t touch some foods but it’s a challenge and hard work nothing is easy about this journey

Me too mine has been very high since surgery so they told me to stop taking

Hi am 52 years old had gastric bypass October 19,2018. Am almost three years out and the best decision I ever made no regrets . My heights to was 350 am now 184 pounds but i exercise and lift weight . I am happy to say I have a tool to work with because losing weight on my own I couldn’t do it I have disc problems and thyroid issues but now they remove the thyroid issues so am left with the back issues but I still keep active . I can always adjust my tool and lose more weight but I stick to fruits , vegetables , protein which Include protein shake and smoothies and my weight remains the same even through the pandemic

Nice congrats vsgchick you have done well. Nice to know after 6 years you are doing well. Keep up the good work. I will surely follow the tips you give. Keep up the good work . I do weigh myself daily too in the past I found that if I didn't I tend to not stay on track so if I go up I know what exactly I ate. I also work out at lest 3-5 times per week kind of slow down because they keep closing down the gyms but I started to do from home. It is so cold to walk outside sometimes but hopefully we will get over this rough patch soon. Thanks again. Do you have a name for the veteran WLS site?

Hi am 2 years 2 months post gastric bypass and so far very successful I lost 155 pounds. Is there anyone who is over two years? If so how do you find it . Also any suggestions or tips . I work out so much but now that they close the gyms again it is a struggle and also outside is cold so this makes it challenging. I so work inside my apartment but not the same like going to the gyms I feel like working out in the cold am not really sweating so am not losing. All about motivation and being around people who will support you on this journey . Keep up this forum it is very good.

I am 2 years 2 months, I used top have stomach pains with some food my doctor did a scope and found no ulcer this was about 18months out but the did prescribe prevacid fast tabs which I melted under my tongue . Since then I haven't felt anything. I do keep them on hand prescribed my family doctor just in case I need them . Also, am in my early 50s after surgery the hot flashes started never felt them so bad until after surgery. I had one period after surgery and then nothing more. Guess the surgery change my body earlier than I had expected . Hope this helps but get it check out

I had mines in October, 2018 going pretty good so far am 8 pounds from my goal I lost 155 pounds so far. I surpassed what they told me I was going to lose, but I have my own personal goals. I think the pandemic and the gyms closing on and off sure put a damper on everything now . I am missing the gym its cold and I love to workout so am doing from home just not the same but still hanging on. Keep up the good work.

Nice I will try to do some of these indoors. Thanks for the information and video

I was looking for this forum I just joined today. I am 2 years 2 months post gastric bypass . I only had regain like for 2 to 5 pounds and that is where I was not accountable like hanging with people who introduce the foods to me and I was tempted to indulge so most times I remind myself why I did this surgery and remove myself from the situation and get back on tract. Since the pandemic I haven't gain any weight because I am vigilant with my food I do a lot of exercise like waking and work out with a trainer but now we close down again so I do from home. I find that dairy especially yogurt cause the scale not to move. Getting in my water, protein and vitamins really help me so much. I find that snacking doesn't help at all the scale goes up when I snack. Also I will try to do the no meat and see if it will help me to. You are so right nutrition plays a big role in this journey. Keep working hard at the regain it will go. Good luck
